    Okay, two quick questions:

            Since it's possible to selectively put a MOO on the web, is it
    possible, through MOOcode and HTML forms, to allow the user to interact
    with/in the MOO?
    <<<<<

    Yes, several MOOs have done this.  But HTTP isn't an interactive sort of
    protocol, so there's little point in using it for live realtime interaction.
     Maybe when VRML evolves a little more.

    >>>>>
            Since MOOs can be "Internet aware", is it possible to have them,
    say, run and get information from a program at a remote site? ie- a MOO at
    here.com runs a program from there.com.
    <<<<<

    If that program listens on a network port, sure.  $gopher (which comes with
    Lambdacore) is ideal for making network transactions, as long as your
    request fits on one line -- it shouldn't be too hard to modify it to send
    multiple lines (consider this a test question, try to figure out how to do
    it yourself).  $gopher's not just for gopher.
